Thank You and Happy Holidays!

As we reach the end of another fantastic year at St Stephen’s, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our entire school community for your continued support, enthusiasm, and partnership. It’s been a year full of building each other up in love and learning.

We also wish our Year 6 leavers all the very best as they move on to their new schools—may their next adventures be exciting and rewarding!

We wish everyone a happy, safe, and restful summer—and we look forward to welcoming all pupils back on Wednesday 3rd September to begin another exciting school year!

House Points at St Stephen’s

This year saw the exciting reintroduction of house points at St Stephen’s! Children in Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green House have shown fantastic teamwork, determination, and enthusiasm throughout the year as they worked hard to earn points. The big question remains—who will take home the end-of-year crown for the most house points? All will be revealed soon… in assembly on Monday!
